Sandra Ballard, SandraTeddyChildcare

I have used a childminder myself for a few years whilst working as a teacher and I understand how important it is for parents to know that their child is safe and happy while they go to work. I was very lucky with my childminder and I am aiming to provide such a safe and happy place for the children in my care. I feel that continuity and routine is one of the most important things for children to feel safe. Communication with parents is the key to provide this continuity and routine. I will do my very best for the children in my care to feel relaxed and happy but nevertheless to follow certain rules and to understand the importance of treating other people with respect.
